How Do I Upload Photo's On This Site

[Marjanne]

Hi,

I do not know much about computers and have no idea how I can ad a photo of my car on this side. I tried to upload but that is max 1mb and I think that my photo's are 2.52 MB (2,646,016 bytes).

If I go to insert Image I have to come up with some sort of a web site/ URL...........

What to do and how to do this??

 

 

Thanks a lot

You need to open the image in Microsoft Office Picture Manager, or Photoshop, and edit it down. A 2.5MB image is suitble resolution fo printing photos, but for the web photos should be compressed much more. Aim for the largest viewable area as possible, while keeping it under 250k.

Even tho MS Paint isn't the best to scale down images, I still think it doesn't do such a bad job.

OR what you can do is go to the picture, right click and select "send to email recipient" then you get the option to "make your images smaller" then on the email message, go to file and "save attachments" and save the picture - THEN your new saved image is smaller :( it sounds long-winded but it's pretty easy to do :o - then you disregard the email message :)

you can host it with imageshack:

 

go to http://img1.imageshack.us/

click browse and add your file

click checkbox "resize image", choose 640 x 480 or whatever you want

click host it

scroll down to the bottom of the page

copy "direct link to image"

 

go to the forum of your choice

go to your post and click edit or create new a post

in the post editor go to the top icons and click the insert image icon

delete the text in the image link

paste your link from imageshack

 

and voila...

 

320x240

 

640x480

 

800x600

 

 

 

its easy once you have done it a few times.
